Production

In September 2024, it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis would be making his acting return after retiring in 2017 following the release of Phantom Thread. Ronan Day-Lewis had been hired to direct the film and co-write it with his father. Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green also joined the cast, with Jane Petrie serving as the costume designer and Chris Oddy as the production designer.

Filming

Principal photography began on October 1, 2024, in Manchester. Later that month, while filming in Handbridge in Chester, production was disrupted after traffic wardens posted parking tickets on several of the 1980s prop vehicles that were parked on double-yellow lines. A spokesperson for Cheshire West and Chester Council explained that, while a request for parking technical support vehicles in restricted areas had been granted, this did not include the prop cars, and a separate request for a full road closure application during filming had been rejected as it was assessed as "being too disruptive" for residents.
